• Introductory video tutorial

This screencast video gives an brief overview of basic control functions in Avida-ED 3.0 beta, seen running in Chrome. The release version of Avida-ED 3.2 may have slight differences.

This older screencast video uses the MacOS version of Avida-ED 1.0. The controls are the same in the PC version, though with Windows styling. Avida-ED 2.0 has a few minor differences in the controls, but these should be self-explanatory.
